Chapter 96 Governance Programs
Back at the inn, Ma Chunzheng directed the guys to rush before and after greeting the diners to sit down.
Seeing Lin Dong coming, Ma Chun immediately trotted to meet him, and whispered: "Shopkeeper, Dean Ren just left, and when he left, he secretly stuffed a stack of silver tickets for me, with five thousand taels." ”
"Why did he get all the silver tickets?"
Lin Dong was stunned, Liu Chuanxiang would go to Ren Qingsong, which was an unexpected accident for him.
Fortunately, Ren Qingsong was an old man, and when he learned of Liu Chuanxiang's intention, plus a silver ticket of up to 10,000 taels, he was afraid that after he refused, Liu Chuanxiang went to find someone else to help, so he agreed first.
Then, as soon as Liu Chuanxiang left, Ren Qingsong came to the inn overnight.
In addition to being an official, Ren Qingsong treats things like silver and strength like mustard. After summing up the methods of coping, Ren Qingsong planned to give all the 10,000 taels of silver tickets to Lin Dong, Lin Dong thought about it, although this matter was mainly Ren Qingsong, but he also had to cooperate with the inn, so he should naturally have his own share. Zhou Zhengye's side is not good at grabbing benefits from the people, and Ren Qingsong is alone anyway, regardless of whiteness. Therefore, he received 5,000 taels in half a push.
But he didn't think that Ren Qingsong actually gave the remaining five thousand taels to himself.
"Dean Ren said that it was useless for him to ask for silver, if you can go to the Martial Arts Institute within three days, he will give you another surprise." Ma Chun explained in a whisper.
"Surprise?" Lin Dong sighed, and there was a faint expectation in his heart, Ren Qingsong was giving himself the motivation to cultivate! Definitely won't give anything too bad.
"Hmm!" Ma Chun smiled and nodded, his shopkeeper could be so valued by the dean of the Martial Arts Academy, and he also felt that his face was bright.
In the past, in the eyes of a thug like him, the dean of the Martial Arts Academy was a big man who needed to kneel and look up. I can't even think of such a big man stuffing himself with a silver ticket.
"Alright, let's get busy!" Lin Dong commanded.
Ma Chun trotted and entertained the diners enthusiastically.
In the corner of the inn, Jiang Zhen stood up.
Lin Dong nodded and strode into the backyard.
After a while, Jiang Zhen followed, took out a black martial arts card, and handed it to Lin Dong: "Shopkeeper Lin, fortunately, I am not dishonored." ”
Lin Dong smiled, but he said to Ren Qingsong.
Jiang Zhen is a disciple of the sect, so naturally he will not have any martial arts cards. This thing belongs to Ren Qingsong, if you look closely, you will definitely be able to find Ren Qingsong's name in the back.
Taking the martial arts card and putting it on the mobile counter, Lin Dong said with a smile: "It's hard work, although you don't need to make a move in the next trouble, but you will inevitably be seen by the eyeliner of Fenglin Restaurant, and I have to trouble you to eat braised tofu in oil for a while." If it's three or five days, or if it's slow, it's a month, and it's going to be done. ”
"Lin Zhang is polite." Jiang Zhen shook his head again and again: "If Shopkeeper Lin doesn't have other instructions, I'll go back to the guest room to cultivate first?" ”
"Hmm!"
Lin Dong nodded, and after Jiang Zhen left, he teased the silver rabbit for a while, and then returned to the room to cultivate.
In the dantian, the degree of spiritual energy filling has exceeded ninety percent, and when it falls, it seems to be one step closer, if you don't look closely, it has reached the level of fullness.
Went out to the kitchen to get some side dishes at random, plus a bowl of white rice, Lin Dong came to the stone table with a tray, and before the stool was hot, a guy ran in.
"Shopkeeper, there is a guest wearing a hat who claims to be surnamed Chen, and he wants to see you."
"Let him in!" Lin Dong was in good spirits, and the way he made an appointment to meet Zhou Zhengye was to wear a hat and claim that his surname was Chen.
A short time later, a man wearing an old yellow hat walked in with the men leading the way.
Lin Dong was slightly stunned, the person who came was thin, and it was definitely not Zhou Zhengye.
The hat was lifted slightly, revealing a haggard but smiling face.
"Dean Fu!"
Lin Dong stood up, slightly happy in his heart, Fu Chunjian has been busy investigating the situation in various towns and villages during this time, and coming back means that the future governance strategy of Xilan County has been completely revised.
"Shopkeeper Lin, come and rub the maple leaves to stew the soft-shelled turtle, don't you mind?" Fu Chunjian said with a smile.
"Of course no problem!" After Lin Dong waved away the guy, he put the dishes and chopsticks into the tray: "Dean Fu, talk in the house." ”
"Hmm!" Fu Chunjian nodded.
Bringing Fu Chunjian into the room, Lin Dong went to the kitchen to get a stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves, and then closed the door.
"Dean Fu, are you planning to show your strength when you come back?" Lin Dong asked.
Fu Chunjian took a sip of soup, took out a crumpled booklet covered with mud from the placket and pushed it in front of Lin Dong, and said excitedly: "The detailed plan is already there, if Shopkeeper Lin can pass it here, it can be implemented in a few days." ”
Lin Dong didn't like Fu Chunjian's interest, picked up the booklet and opened it, the first page said that the county government was to transfer treasury money to buy farm tools and cattle, and those who needed it could register and receive it, and only need to pay a small amount of rent. The second page is to contact the tea merchants of Lingnan County, and if an agreement is reached, vigorously promote the cultivation of Hongyun tea, which is unique to Xilan County. The third page is the reduction and exemption of various taxes set by the county government itself...... Lin Dong was originally just going through the motions, but the more he watched, the more he was attracted by Fu Chunjian's level of detail and omission, and it took more than an hour to watch while eating, and then he finished reading it all.
Lin Dong put down the booklet and said with admiration: "Once Dean Fu's plans are fully realized, within three or five years, Xilan County will have earth-shaking changes, and it is probably possible to become the richest county in the Han Kingdom within ten or twenty years." ”
Fu Chunjian smiled bitterly: "It's easy to say, but it's the most difficult thing to do." When the officials went down to collect taxes, they pretended to be public and private, and the local lords were unwilling to reduce the land rent from ten taxes and three taxes to less than ten taxes and one under the law, and without the help of the shopkeeper Lin, I am afraid it was wishful thinking. ”
"Who dares to go against the grain behind their backs, Dean Fu sent someone to give Wang Liumo a list, and I guarantee that they will have trouble sleeping!" Lin Dong said slowly.
"The gangsters under Wang Liumole may be useful for dealing with the small officials and squires, but the Liu family ......" Fu Chunjian said helplessly: "The Liu family's industry is all over Xilan County, and there are two warriors in the clan who have broken through the agile period, if they refuse to reduce the rent, no one can help it!" ”
"Liu Family ......" Lin Dong hesitated for a moment, and resolutely said: "If you object, I'll find a way, Dean Fu, don't forget my relationship with Gu Huanzong." ”
Fu Chunjian was overjoyed and arched his hand: "Then it depends on the shopkeeper Lin." ”
"Dean Fu is too polite." Lin Dong shook his head.
"And." Fu Chunjian said meaningfully: "The shopkeeper of Fenglin Restaurant seems to be a little anxious, and he went to the county government without waiting for dark. ”
"Did you really go to the county office? Which did he choose? Lin Dongle is happy, he has discussed with Zhou Zhengye that there is only one way to use official power to destroy the Lin Ji Inn, and that is to warn the big families not to go to the Lin Ji Inn.
Of course, this method can also derive many small items, such as posting a notice saying that the Lin Kee Inn is drugged and hacked, but there is a martial artist guarantee, so the store cannot be closed. Or directly gather the big families together and warn them not to go to the Lin Ji Inn, or send some officials to guard the two ends of Shibei Street, and intercept them when they see the big households.
Fu Chunjian said lightly: "He chose to let Zhengye take the lead in the banquet of all the big families in Sealand City at the Fenglin Restaurant, and then, Zhengye announced at the banquet that whoever dared to come to the Lin Ji Inn to book a banquet again would not be able to get along with him." ”
"It can not only destroy the Lin Ji Inn, but also promote the Fenglin Restaurant, the idea is good!" Lin Dong praised and asked, "When?" ”
"Three days later."
"How much silver was given?" Lin Dong asked.
"Ten thousand taels."
Lin Dongsheng sighed suddenly: "Fenglin Restaurant, it's really rich!" A shopkeeper who works can use so much silver. ”
"Not really!" Fu Chunjian sighed: "With this 10,000 taels of silver, it is 31,000 taels, and this money alone is enough to be a county magistrate for another term." Although this kind of thing is extremely special, it has only been more than half a month, and the congratulatory gifts from other rich families are no less than 3,000 taels of silver. As a corrupt official, the ruthless county order can save 100,000 taels of silver in three years, which is indeed true. ”
"I hope that this matter of Fenglin Restaurant can be stopped in the future, there are too many coincidences, I am afraid that he will notice the catty inside."
"Hmm!" Fu Chunjian said: "The method of rectifying the Lin Ji Inn through the county order should end here." ”
Lin Dong smiled bitterly, the official forces have no hope, but they are not afraid that they will not be able to think of other ways if they have money. He can only hope that the silver that Liu Chuanxiang can use has reached the top, otherwise, there will not be much to say about letting Fenglin Restaurant get out of Zealand City within a year.
