Chapter 2: Bringing the Silver (Asking for Collection)
γγγγγγγ
Seeing him like this, those fans glanced at each other, hehe smiled, the round hat fan didn't expect this Huang Yongtai to be so useless, he didn't use any means, he was scared like this, and couldn't help but be a little disdainful, secretly said that this old pickpocket seems to be a bully who is afraid of the hard, relying on his son Huang Quan to be an official in Beijing, and he is a lifter, bullying the township on weekdays, doing evil, how can I meet the real king of Hades, but also such a coward, an old horseman who is alive and well. But that's okay, I know I'm afraid, this silver can always be knocked out more, and today I led the brothers over to beat him Huang Yongtai's autumn wind, and if I didn't knock him hard, I really couldn't help the brothers from the capital to run to his Hejian Mansion for a trip.
waved his hand to signal the other party to get up: "You get up, your son didn't commit a crime, you don't have to be like this..."
As soon as he heard this, Huang Yongtai's hanging heart finally fell down, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and his back was cold, but it was a cold sweat that had just been scared, and the wind would blow, not to mention how cold it was. Just as he was about to get up, there was another fluttering sentence from the round hat in his ears, and his legs suddenly shook, and the whole person was so frightened that he knelt down again.
The round hat said, "It's just that he offended our East Factory...".
"Children are ignorant, if there is anything that offends your factory, please bear with me, bear with me..."
I don't know how many times I kowtowed, how much I begged, Huang Yongtai heard the round hat fan say: "If you want us to be inclusive, it's easy to say, it's all for the emperor, there's no reason why anyone has to find whom, but your son is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Ministry of Officials, and he blatantly doesn't take our Dongchang in his eyes, which is difficult to get." You know, our factory is a close minister next to the Son of Heaven, and if he scolds our East Factory, he is tantamount to scolding our Factory, and scolding our Factory is not the emperor who scolds, so we can't just forget about this matter, otherwise those court officials will learn from each other, and they will not take our East Factory in their eyes, so our East Factory will not become his stepmother's raiser! Can anyone the fuck step on it..."
As soon as he said this, Master Huang's heart was cold, as if he was in an ice cellar, and he was terrified. The son openly scolded the people of Dongchang, isn't that looking for death! Why didn't he want to think about it, can the people of this Yama Hall scold!
Alas! I really don't know which tendon is wrong with Quan'er, it's okay to provoke the plague god of Dongchang, if people don't mess with you, thank God thank you Bodhisattva, you're good, send it to the door yourself! Now people not only have to clean you up, but even the hundreds and ten members of the Huang family will suffer, isn't this a sin!
Brutes, brutes! You don't want to be a good official, you don't know how to glorify your ancestors for the old Huang family, but you want the old Huang family to suffer with you, aren't you going to be angry with your father!
After scolding his son in his heart, Huang Yongtai couldn't help but face up to the reality, that is, he didn't have any idea at all now, and the words of the round hat fanzi couldn't be clearer, people came to the Huang family this time, not for anything else, just to be angry!
How is this good, if it doesn't work, you have to find someone to save the Huang family quickly! Huang Yongtai was anxious, thinking that the county magistrate had always respected him, and every time he called "Master Huang", he didn't give him less benefits on weekdays, and now that the Huang family is in trouble, he can't stand by and watch, right?
Thinking of this, Huang Yongtai secretly glanced back from the corner of his eye, but he was looking for Tian Wu, who was going to get the silver, and everywhere he looked, Tian Wu was struggling to hide by the door with a big cloth wrapped and looking at himself. I had the intention to ask Tian Wu to hurry into the city to find the county magistrate to help, but he couldn't speak, and he was really anxious in his heart, like an ant on a hot pot.
The round hat had been observing Master Huang, and when he saw that the intimidation had worked, he coughed lightly and said again: "Actually, we don't necessarily have your son to be good-looking, this matter is still on my side for the time being, and it has not been reported yet, if it is reported, your son will definitely be in danger of dying now..."
Well?
When Huang Yongtai heard this, his eyes lit up, his heart moved, and he said secretly: There is a door! Looking at it carefully, I saw that the other party seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and it suddenly became clear in my heart that it seemed that it was still a matter of silver!
Busy said: "If Xiao'er has anything to do with your factory, Xiaomin will compensate him here, and I hope that a few officials can raise their noble hands and let him go, and don't care about him in general, Xiaomin has prepared some Cheng Yi expenses for several officials, and I hope that a few officials can laugh!" β
Huang Yongtai said as he waved his hand to the steward Tian Wu, who saw it and hurriedly handed him the cloth wrap in his hand.
The cloth wrap was wrapped in five hundred taels of silver that had just been lifted from the tent, all of which were ten taels of large silver ingots, which weighed dozens of catties in his hand, and weighed very much, Huang Yongtai was old after all, where did he have any strength, and he almost didn't stand firm and fell to the ground after carrying it, but fortunately, he was quick and helped him in time.
"Be careful, don't pay respect, and ask the official to smile!"
Huang Yongtai respectfully handed the five hundred taels of silver to the round hat fanzi, he knew that this round hat fan was the head of these people, as long as he received the silver, this disaster could be regarded as being able to be resolved.
Who would have thought that the other party squinted at the cloth wrap, so he snorted coldly, threw the cloth wrap aside, and shouted in his mouth: "What? Such a little silver? Are you asking for food when we are people in the East Factory? β
"Don't be annoyed, don't be annoyed..."
Too little? Huang Yongtai's brain turned quickly, and he hurriedly smiled: "These five hundred taels of silver are only for the officials to spend money on the road, and Xiaomin will also offer five hundred taels of silver to invite a few officials to eat and drink!" β
One thousand taels of silver is a lot, Huang Yongtai is already quite painful, the rent he collected in the last year was only more than seven hundred taels, and now he has a year-and-a-half-year rent at once, do you say he can feel good in his heart! But for the sake of his son and the sake of the family, this kung fu can't feel sorry for the silver, and the money that should be given must be given, just turn this disaster into a disaster. Loss, go back and increase the rent by 10%, and increase the profits by 10%, and it will come back. As for how he improves like this, how the tenants will live, is not something he always worries about.
I think so, but the problem is that people don't accept his feelings. Not to mention how ugly the faces of those pointed hats were, they almost scolded. Even the round hat seemed to have suffered some humiliation, and without saying a word, he pointed at Huang Yongtai's nose and scolded: "Old thing, who is scarce of your silver!" "Turn around and lead the horse," brothers, the old thing is not on the road, let's not be blind with him, let's go, go back to Beijing to find Huang Quan, that bastard!" β
"Great!"
The sharp-hatted fans all responded in response, turned around and were about to get on their horses and leave.
Huang Yongtai was frightened by the posture of the fans, where did he dare to let them go back to Beijing to settle accounts with his son, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the round hat fanzi, and begged bitterly: "Don't don't, don't go to Xiao'er, officials, if you say something, how much silver do you want, Xiaomin will give it to you immediately!" I just ask the officials to let the children go! β
Immediately, when the round hat heard this, his nose twitched, and he glared at Huang Yongtai: "You said this, but we didn't force you!" β
"Yes, yes, it was Xiaomin who volunteered to honor a few officials!"
Huang Yongtai hated in his heart, he almost scolded his mother, Dongchang's fans really ate people one by one without spitting out bones, black, all fucking black-hearted ghosts! But I hated it so much in my heart, how dare I show it on my lips, and I looked at the round hat pitifully, and I almost burst into tears.
Lao Papi, you met early, Lao Tzu, I don't have to do this play! The round-hat fan glanced at the few pointed hats, and several people stopped suddenly, and then he sneered and said to Huang Yongtai: "Well, seeing that you are so knowledgeable, we will not embarrass you, a fixed price, five thousand taels, not one less!" β
"Five thousand taels?!"
This time, not only Huang Yongtai was stupid there, but Tian Wu and a group of subordinates were also stunned, and they all looked at their tongues: Good girl, this heart is black enough!
The round hat fan ignored Huang Yongtai's stunned appearance, and when he saw that he was stunned and silent, he shouted impatiently: "What? Don't want to? That will be done, and there will be a period later! Then he was about to beat his horse and leave.
"Don't!"
Huang Yongtai was excited, grabbed the reins of the horse again, and said with a bitter face: "No, no... It's just that five thousand taels is not a decimal number, and the small people don't have so much cash for a while, and Zhuang Shang can barely make up three thousand taels, but I don't know how many officials..."
Before the words fell, I saw that the round hat was angry again, and when he opened his mouth, he scolded: "Fart, are you farting when you talk to people in our East Factory!" Five thousand taels is five thousand taels, one less child, I will protect your Huang family, and disaster is coming! I ask you, do you give or not! β
"To take it or not to take it!"
The four pointed hats were also fierce, and their teeth grinned loudly, frightening the few people at the door to retreat.
"I'll give, I'll give!"
Huang Yongtai completely collapsed, and he was so frightened by the catastrophe that he didn't dare to bargain anymore, so he turned his head and instructed Tian Wu: "Tell the tent to quickly bring the silver prepared for Gongzi, and send someone to go into the city immediately to Qianzhuang to bring out another two thousand taels of silver, quickly!" When he had finished speaking, he could no longer stand as if he had run out of oil, and he fell to the ground and hung his head down. Five thousand taels of silver really killed him.
As soon as he heard that he was going to send someone into the city to get the silver, he hurriedly said generously: "Just give us the silver ticket, we will go and get it, and we won't bother Master Huang to bother." β
When Huang Yongtai heard this, his eyes rolled, and he said weakly: "But listen to the official's orders." He will already deeply understand the helplessness of "people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat".
After a while, Tian Wu led a few subordinates of the Huang Mansion to come out with two large boxes of silver, and the round hat fan saw that the box was too big to carry, so he asked them to put the silver in a few cloth wraps, and then let the four pointed hat fans carry a bag and tie it to the horse, and the two thousand taels of silver tickets were carried in his arms.
When the money is in hand, there will be no more left in this place. The round hat was in a comfortable mood, so he wanted to lead his subordinates back to Beijing, and when he remembered something, he hurriedly smiled at Huang Yongtai, who was still sitting on the ground: "By the way, there is another thing I almost forgot to tell Master Huang." β
"Huh? Anything else? Huang Yongtai's eyes widened and said with an innocent face: "What else does the official have to order?" β
The round hat stared at Huang Yongtai for a moment, and suddenly his face turned cold, and he shouted: "Except for your Huang family's rent, Hejian Mansion collects six or four, and other people's families are four or six, so you don't want to collect too much, and you will be killed!"
ββ¦β¦β
Huang Yongtai was speechless, he didn't know what to say, but he didn't want to say anything about it, he had the final say on how much rent his land collected, why should the people in your Dongchang ask! It's really the sun that comes out in the west, and the fans of the east factory are in charge of renting, which is strange, strange!
Seeing him like this, the round-hated fan knew that he didn't take it seriously in his heart, so he smiled and said lightly: "Our factory has always been sympathetic to the people, and recently asked us to strictly investigate the bullies in the Gyeonggi area who oppress the villagers. Your old man Huang is also famous in Hejian Mansion, and our factory is also from Hejian Mansion, I think the old man of the factory must be willing to listen to your good deeds..."
Fanzi's words are not over, Huang Yongtai has already gotten up, and he keeps composing: "Xiaomin knows how to do it, Xiaomin knows how to do it, please don't tell Gonggong Wei about Xiaomin..."
"It's good that you know. People are doing it, the sky is watching, Hejian Mansion is only a day away from the capital, if I hear that your Huang family's rent is black next time, then don't blame me for being ruthless. β
Seeing that it was not early, the round hat did not want to delay any longer, and after throwing down these words, he took his men to beat his horses and left. In the sound of horses' hooves, I could only hear the people of the Huang Mansion crying and shouting from afar, "Master, master, wake up, wake up..."
