Chapter 727: Snatching Silver
Yan Ruyu can see this carefully.
After the people came, Yan Ruyu asked people to open this mansion widely, and moved all the money in several households to this mansion compound together with this account book.
I found someone to beat the gong and drum at the door of the government.
After a while, the outside of the government was already full of people.
The faces of several magistrates are not very good-looking.
They are officials anyway, where is there a reason for the people to stare at them.
Especially although this Yan Xiangjun is the granddaughter of the eldest princess, in the end, he was born as a bandit, and the bandit judge is probably unprecedented.
"How many county magistrates are dissatisfied with this seat?" Feeling the displeased gazes of several people, Yan Ruyu asked bluntly.
Several people's bodies trembled: "Don't dare, don't dare to ......"
"Don't dare, you're right to be dissatisfied with me, after all, Lao Tzu wants to steal the silver from you." Yan Ruyu said with a smile.
Jianyang is a state, and it is not a serious prefecture, so it has only six counties under its jurisdiction, but these six are all large counties.
In recent years, there has been no drought or disaster, and the minimum annual tax revenue of each county is about 50,000 taels.
The standards set by the above, these magistrates have naturally met.
It's just that Yan Ruyu sent people to inquire about the various merchants and farmers, and recounted the total amount of taxes and silver they paid, which was much more than the actual silver in the house.
"Yan Xiangjun...... With such fanfare...... Isn't it good? It's a loss of prestige......" one of the magistrates said boldly.
"If it's clean, it won't make any difference." Yan Ruyu spoke, and then asked people to read the accounts.
The main source of tax revenue in Thorn Sun City is merchants, but other tax items are also relatively messy.
Farmers mainly collect taxes on land and poll taxes, like the agricultural tool tax, which has long been no longer collected, but the thorny land is far away, the government decree is not reached, and the county is in charge.
Therefore, when Yan Ruyu's people finished reading the various tax items, the people outside felt that something was wrong.
Goods tax, housing tax, righteous warehouse, foot money, agricultural tools...... Isn't that right?!
The faces of several magistrates changed greatly.
One of them suddenly stood up, walked up to Yan Ruyu, and said: "Xiaguan is from Hexin County, since Xiaguan took office, he has found that there is something wrong with the tax items, and he has privately reduced taxes, but he was reprimanded by the prefect and asked the official to fill the vacancy...... The lower officials didn't dare to accept it, so they made their own decisions to build bridges and roads for the county......"
"Although Yan Xiangjun went to investigate, what the lower official said was absolutely not false." The other party said again.
This magistrate was the only one who came empty-handed.
Yan Ruyu had already sent someone to check on his own, and the situation in each county was different, but I have to say that the life of this Hexin County was indeed the best.
There are several waterwheels alone, and the cattle are fertile in many fields, and it can be seen that the county has indeed spent the silver back on the heads of those people.
"Hmm." Yan Ruyu responded, "Show Master Tao a seat." ”
Immediately, someone moved a Taishi chair over and brought some tea and snacks.
When the other five people saw it, their hearts were uncomfortable.
also hurriedly said: "This official is the same, the prefect doesn't dare not listen to his orders!" All the money was given to him......"
"Yes, the rest of the money, we also used to build bridges and roads......"
“……”
When Yan Ruyu heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"You are insulting Lao Tzu's intelligence! Brothers, tie them up and give them to Lao Tzu! ”
