Chapter 125: Try your best to scrape oil and water
If the official assessment is unqualified, then his brother-in-law will not want to mix in the officialdom in the future.
Zhao Minghui and Zhao Mingde, the two brothers, as soon as they thought of this, they began to persuade their brother-in-law, "Brother-in-law, no matter what, you have to pay enough of these taxes distributed by the imperial court!" ”
"Otherwise, we won't be able to recover the costs we invested before!"
Zhao Mingde Zhao Minghui has been working diligently for his brother-in-law some time ago.
After arresting all the mountain farmers and savages in the mountains, they sold them to the tile kilns, coal mines, and other places that urgently needed the labor of the prime.
Earlier, they thought that this county had a large population. They should be able to make a fortune.
However, they also arrested a lot of people, and the silver they sold was only hundreds of thousands of taels!
It's only a few hundred thousand taels, give a gift to the people above, make a point, and then give a point to the people below, so that they can also have some broth to drink, and block their mouths......
As a result, the amount of money that fell into their own hands was not much!
That bit of silver is just enough to pay off the debt of buying an official!
If you want to make real money, or even benefit everyone in your family, it is still far from reaching.
The two brothers, Zhao Minghui and Zhao Mingde, don't want that their brother-in-law will be a county magistrate in his life.
They all hope that their brother-in-law's official position can be promoted to the top.
The bigger the brother-in-law becomes, the more benefits they can get from it.
Out of such considerations, the two brothers Zhao Mingde and Zhao Minghui tried their best to persuade them at this time.
"Brother-in-law, those rich families don't want to pay money, let's get their house, go more, persuade more. You just have to go out in person, and they don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha. They will still give you some face. ”
"The one who is rich will give some money, and the other family will give a sum of silver. After these dozens of rich families have taken out some silver, if it is still a little short, let's think of a way. In short, our top priority now is to hurry up and pay all the money that the court wants us to pay! In that case, I can keep your official position......"
Hearing his two brothers-in-law say these words over and over again, Wang Xinren glanced at them angrily.
"It's simple!"
"I tell you, in the eyes of those poor devils, if I were a jackal, then the rich and rich would be a bunch of wild dogs chasing after them!"
"No matter what happens to this wild dog, it will eat meat. Do you think they'll spit out the meat that goes into their mouths? ”
"I asked them for money, and I didn't ask for it personally? But they just won't give it! ”
As soon as they heard this, the faces of the two brothers, Zhao Minghui and Zhao Mingde, were very bad.
"Brother-in-law, you said this can't work, that doesn't work, then what do you think we should do now?"
"Our family of people tried their best to borrow money everywhere, and finally bought such an official position for my brother-in-law. However, it has been less than a year since you took office as the county magistrate, do you want to lose your black hat because you don't pay enough taxes? ”
"If you think so, then at the beginning of next year, or at the end of next year, you can only take our family and go back in disgrace. When the time comes, our hometown people may be making fun of you again......"
When Wang Xinren heard these two brothers-in-law say such words, he was angry in his heart.
"Okay, don't use agitation."
"I promise you, I promise you!"
"Hurry up and arrange the carriage, sedan chair and so on. I'm going to go out in person today and ask them for money! ”
Wang Xinren has been eating delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, and he eats himself for nothing.
Plus, he's a fat guy himself.
It was a hot day, and he felt very uncomfortable.
It's too hot.
It's all hot, and he's almost out of breath.
After Wang Xinren walked out of the yamen, he stood on the steps, raised his head, squinted at the already small eyes, and looked at the round of sun in the sky.
I found out that it hadn't rained in months.
lowered his head again, and saw the pedestrians coming and going on the road, also sweating profusely, Wang Xinren suddenly sighed.
"How long will it take to get so hot......"
There are actually quite a lot of servants in the three classes and six rooms in the yamen.
Especially those that have a formal establishment.
It's strange to say.
In addition to the official staff, there are also a large number of non-staff personnel.
As for these non-staff personnel, most of them work for the established government officials.
In short, the monthly share of the yamen's officials is actually a confused account.
They're confused, though. is still Wang Xinren, the county magistrate, who pays more than 100 officials inside and outside the yamen.
Moreover, Wang Xinren still has to be sent every month.
If he doesn't give a monthly example, no one listens to him.
It's because knowing money is really important. So as soon as Wang Xinren came to take office, he tried his best to make money every day.
However, Gaofeng County didn't have much oil and water for him to squeeze at all.
Even so, Wang Xinren still wants to get more money back from here.
On this hot day, Wang Xinren made a sedan chair and went to Gaofeng City in person to visit those rich and powerful families who still had some connections in the court.
As soon as those rich families saw Wang Xinren, the county magistrate, coming, they were all like great enemies.
Some people are even discussing in the secret room, do they have to leave quickly?
Among them, there is a family surnamed Lu.
His ancestors started by selling medicine.
His great-grandfather even had a relationship with An Lehou. His eldest aunt even married into the Anle Hou Mansion as a concubine.
Today's An Lehou, although he was not born to his eldest aunt. However, she had brought up the other one.
Relying on such a relationship, Lu Yubo, the head of the Lu family, was mixed up in Gaofeng County.
At the beginning of this year, he happened to take a large family of people to the Anle Hou Mansion in the capital to pay homage to his eldest aunt.
It just so happened that An Lehou and his three little daughters saw each other right. I want to ask her to be a concubine.
Therefore, he stayed in the capital at that time because he had to handle his daughter's marriage.
So much so that at the beginning of July, they returned to the city of Gaofeng.
However, after Lu Yubo came back with a large family, including hundreds of slaves under his hands, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
After dealing with Wang Xinren, the newly appointed county magistrate, a few times, Lu Yubo felt even more that this Gaofeng City was no longer of much value......
Because of the floods in April and May, this county town was empty of ten rooms and nine empty. The county magistrate didn't want this place to recuperate, so he even tried his best to squeeze oil out of here,......
